Rest In Peace Burst Rifles

You were good guns, your previous stats will be remembered forever :frowning:

They will be missed with heavy hearts :ā€™(

I highly doubt that they will be screwed over forever.

Rip kira, you will not be the same without your br 16

The Stark Ar is absolutely terrible now - did they even play test the new burst stats?

Seeing as Arty with the STARK-AR is my favourite character, I am hurting pretty bad. The gun is legitimately useless. Especially seeing as everyone is using SMGā€™s and bunny hopping constantly, the burst rifles now have no purpose on the battlefield.

They seem to have doubled the things that are almost universally hated about burst rifles among fps players. On the bright side it has made me consider having another look at the driess on Arty but for none of the right reasons. The only benefit seems to be to the rare occasion of being able to one shot head shot 100 hp mercs but this isnā€™t anywhere near common enough to make it worth it.

Burst guns conceptually are meant for medium to long range but in a game with such small teams I donā€™t think thereā€™s enough room for people to chose their engagement distances such that it justifies using a niche long range assault rifle on a non-sniper merc.

As for separating the two of them they seem to have a similar relationship as before with the stark sacrificing clip size, reload time and now fire rate in exchange for a negligible amount of damage.

I hope theyā€™ll revert (at least one of them) to what they were like before the patch instead of trying to polish this new-found turd.

Yeah, I was suprised they nerfed burst rifles so much, they are more skillful weapons than i.e SMGs but still i prefer StarkAR over Timik on Stoker

To be honest, even though I find the that the burst rifles have become worse, theyā€™re still playable.

Me: fires a single burst
Enemy merc: empties enntire clip into me

Hmmm people complaining that burst fire weapons now actually fire in bursts :stuck_out_tongue:

would be nice if midburst recoil was decreased to promote them doubleand triple HS.

also one burst rifle (br16) could have an inaccurate full auto mode, instead of the useless ironsight

I gotta agree on this., whatā€™s the point of encouraging triple HS bursts when you canā€™t even land three HS in a row?

Make the recoil on a per burst basis, so it only takes after the third bullet. Yea, it looks and feels weird, but promotes that sexy skillful play.

Just tried Kira and came on too see if I was the only one feeling this way. Iā€™m new so I donā€™t really knowā€¦ I will say they seem pretty awful. TTK is just terrible, even if you hit every burst. I will admit a burst to the head is pretty effective but not sure how much better it is than any of the other assault rifle headshots.
